Vortex Tool Expands

Increasing demand for high performance cutting tools has caused Vortex Tool Company to expand its production facility in Schofield, Wisconsin. According to Vortex Vice President Mike Serwa, the company is adding 17,500 square feet onto the existing 10,000 square foot plant. “Our expansion will accommodate new machinery and will provide additional space for future expansion of operating space. The construction will not interrupt our current business,” said Serwa. The expansion should be complete in February 2005.

The 2004 recipient of the International Woodworking Fair (IWF) Challengers Award, Vortex Tool Company, Inc., designs and manufactures highperformance router and insert cutting tools for the woodworking and plastics industries. The company produces tools with cutting edges in various grades of carbide, stellite, high-speed steel and polycrystalline diamond and provides custom tool design, retipping and sharpening services.
